Casting "The Ultimate Fighter: Celebrity Edition"

Let's pretend that you are Dana White. You're in your office, doing whatever an awesomely cool dude like Dana White does in his spare time when you get a call from the guys in charge of Spike TV.

"Dana, we have a great idea!" the Spike TV guy says, "As you know, the ratings for the Ultimate Fighter show are dropping a little, so we have come up with a great format to spice things up. For Season 7, all the fighters in the house are going to be celebrities! That way it will be more like the Real World and all those other reality shows out there."

As Dana White, which celebrities do you cast on the show and which two UFC fighters do you pick to coach it?

One team filled with popular industry rappers and the other side rock bands.
So the line up would be: Team 1
50 Cent
Lil John
Ludacris
X-zibit
(insert name of other generic trash rap artist)

Team 2:
Lead singers of Good Charlotte and Disturbed
Lead guitarist's of Yellow Card and My Chemical Romance
and then a bunch of other pussies

Now the coaches should be like... no one. Let 50 keep taking his steroids, the other sell marketing hoes of rap can keep smoking weed all day while the "hardcore" rockers can argue over who's nail polish is better. When each of them fight the cage will be dropped and 15 feet of spikes will surround the normal octagon. After that we just kill em off and... thats it. I know I'd love to see it.

BET is already doing this... For realzies...

MAN UP! It's time to show what you've got.

We are producing the Iron Ring, a new reality series that will air on BET later this spring. We are following hip-hop celebrities in New York (tryouts already completed), Atlanta, Miami and Los Angeles as they put together professional MMA fight teams that will then compete in the Iron Ring live event finale.
Need more? The total prize money exceeds $100,000. If you think you've got what it takes to fight like a warrior in the Iron Ring and stand side-by-side with superstars like Ludacris, Juelz Santana and Jim Jones from the Dipset Crew, Eddie Griffin and Snoop Dogg, then contact us.

Dipset’s trainer, Novell, is a proponent of that style.

I say Wanderlei and Chuck are the coaches. I would donate a kidney to see "the Axe Murderer" coach a bunch of celebrity would be fighters.
I see it going something like this:

Wanderlei: Any questions?
Kevin Federline: Yeah, dawg, get yo shiznit out of my face, cuz I bang wit da homeboys in da hood...
(Wanderlei knees Kevin Federline in the head four times, then finishes with a soccer kick)
Wanderlei: Any more questions?

I want to see Marky Mark attend. He really seems like a badass. And if he isn't, well, it's still fun seeing him being kneed to the face ;). Also John Cusack, he is supposed to be pretty proficient in kickboxing. And of course Ed O'Neill (aka Al Bundy), since he's a BJJ brown belt already. I'd love to see him pwn young wannabe tough guys.

Hm, any other celebrities that actually know some MAs that aren't the "i non-violently grab your wrist and submit you" type ****?
